The BEng Programme
The BEng involves three years of study, or four if you choose the Year in Industry (sandwich) option. The first year is common across all our degrees in the area of Civil Engineering and so we are highly flexible should you wish to change the focus of your degree once you arrive. In the second and third years of academic study you will focus more on your chosen discipline, with optional modules and a major project allowing you to concentrate on your own areas of interest.
All of our degrees are fully accredited by the Institutions of Civil and Structural Engineers, and other related institutions. In your professional development as an engineer, the BEng degree satisfies the educational requirements to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng), and partially satisfies the requirements to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
The BEng degree produces highly numerate, analytical and adaptable graduates and so is highly regarded by employers in Civil Engineering, the built and natural environment and many other professions. For example, our graduates may undertake careers in the Forces, the financial sector or other high-ranking professions where the skills obtained are highly valued. It is ideal preparation for further study (either at MSc or PhD level).
